Can someone explain to me why 45 million Americans w/o healthcare is OK?

1. The ruling class has health care. That's all that matters. Besides,

the sicker the population gets the sooner they'll die. Saves on social security and Medicare.

10. And resources.

Not that it matters. The ruling elite can shift things to China and India, but last I checked, their purchasing of SUVs and such has skyrocketed.

They are able to compensate for the loss of US jobs.

Like I've said before. There will be no crash.

2. Because wealthy folks have private "Boutique" doctors and

never have to sit and wait for care, have others to do their paperwork for them (IF there IS any) and rarely have to visit the waiting room of their local hospital's Emergency Room and see 'the great unwashed' bleeding or in pain.

3. Let me take a crack @ it. The 45 without HC are insignificant to

the success of the economic policies of the country. Basically it is o.k. cuz greedy bastards could give a shit.

Seems to me the right to life muthafuckas would be on and behind this fuckin issue. Since they are forcing women to carry babies to term when in most instances it is economic reasons why women don't have babies.

4. Because we're dying one at a time

and nobody notices but a few family and friends.

If you think there are only 45 million of us, you're kidding yourself. This gang of thieves stopped counting us the first year they stole the office.

As long as most people are allowed to think they're protected (until they get sick and have to fight for everything and the copays mount up and they are looking at bankruptcy that they can no longer file), they have theirs and to hell with everybody else.

That's why.

5. Why, obviously, they are most of the fifty-some-odd million people

who voted for Gore and then Kerry rather than Bush.

Watch out! If you voted for them and not Bush, I'm sure they know. I'm hanging on to my catastophic insurance by my finger tips. It doesn't even kick in until after the $2,500 deductible is met and it costs me over $500 each month for three people.

7. 35 Million? Where are you getting that number? True figure is 1/5 that

as of 2000. You figure another 28 million came in here in six years that only you seem to know about?

Link to back up your assertion, please.

8. Even for those that have healthcare

It is so damn difficult,to get the insurance comapnies to pay..I mean there is a deductable for this and that,etc...Then when they do pay they have a discount chart they (the insurance) use,one still ends up paying a pretty heffty sum..My premiums are $581.00 a month and for that I get nothing but red tape trying to collect...

9. Surplus Population, ya know

Everyone in the Bush Administration should be visited by three ghosts. Every night until they acquire some compassion.

11. The US has 300 million people. China has 1.5 BILLION.

Why help them live and let us starve to death?

Because we believe in freedom and their people are already used to being controlled? :think:

12. Why is there not a National Health Care Sys in USA in 2006?

Why is the USA and South Africa the only 2 nations on the planet with a National Health Care system for the people?

[lonestarnot]

13. Because we have to weed out the population! We only need people

with money on the planet.

[thethinker]

14. Because we spent the money on other things

According to a recent article from the Independent/UK, the combined cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is projected to be $811 billion.

This money would have paid for health care for everyone.

The problem is that members of congress are bought off by the donations from the people profiting from war. The people needing health care aren't buying members of congress.

Health care is a basic human right, and recognized as such in every country except America.

15. Healthcare??

Because it is the American Way! If you can't pay for it you don't need it. Anything else would be socialistic.
